I've just recently started training and my trainer said I have it in me to become a world champ (yeah I know I was shocked rofl), how do you become a pro?
Develop muscles of the neck, shoulder, upper arms, legs and chest.
Join a boxing club.
When you are ready, get a manager who might sign you up to matches and competitions.
Failing that, buy a York Multi Gym, and just use that. (They're cheap as chips!)
Do different exercises, also get a Powerball from ebay. They improve your speed strength
Upon waking, do 30 pushups, 30 sit ups and 20 min. of each arm on dumbells. (15.5 kg, I use.)
With the dumbbell's, hold both elbows out in front of you. With the weight on your shoulder, slowly pass the weight over your head and out straight in the air, and then take it back.
Same thing before bed.
Gym 3-4 times a week, at least 2 hours a time.
It is better to do repetitions faster with less weight as that will build STRENGTH in the muscle instead of a spacious big muscle. That's for muscle builders only.
Go to boxing clubs as much as you can and ask them to put you in competitions.
There was this retired cop that became one of the best trainers in the world. When I met him back in the early nineties, he had already turned fourteen contenders into world champions with what he called the four Ds. 1) Drive 2) Dedication 3) Determination 4) Discipline I'm not sure about the guy that claims he's been pro for a few years, then again maybe he fights from another planet. Then again, who am I? Never turned pro because I wanted an education instead, yet I do know how I made it to international Competition with fifty amateur fights. If you don't go through all three levels (novice, junior, senior) with the United States Amateur Boxing Federation, then a good manager and trainer won't even look at you, but hamburger fights are cool for extra cash and the chance of getting knocked out every now and then. Club boxing clubs such as the police athletic leagues are only for experience. If you wish to turn pro, then go to a gym where the pros train after winning a golden gloves title or something and remember the four Ds. Run and run long slow distances for a quicker mind. Read George Foreman's autobiography for encouragement. Sorry that I can't help much more. My cousin is a former three time world champion but he don't do Yahoo answers because he's too busy bailing people out of jail and them hunting them down when they jump bail on him.
Becoming a pro fighter is very easy pass the physical exams that your state requires and your on your way. Remember though boxing many of these guys start young and they are bunches of they throughout the world, so the chances of you facing a ringer in your very first bout is 100%. Has your trainer ever fought amateur or pro, has he credentials with other boxers in the gym? Are other fighter flocking to him because he is so valuable or are they running from because he says the same thing to them, many trainers just look for a pay day, travel to other gyms get more input it's your face and brains at stake. Professional boxing is a dangerous-deadly sport.
first you would star with an amateur career then you would speak to people who are looking to take on boxers and sign them to a contract. its important to be careful about who you let sign you onto a contract b/c many of those people don't really care about you and are only interested if you can make them money even if this means you get hurt. go to http://www.amateurboxing.com/ and email Melanie Ley to find out more about amateur boxing. also the website www.usaboxing.org
